About Long Sleeve Cycling Jerseys

Long sleeve jerseys are ideal to be worn as part of a layering system, or just worn as an outer layer over a base layer. Manufacturers make a range of different long sleeve jerseys, from lightweight materials for summer use to tops that feature wind stopping fabrics on the chest, or thicker winter fleecy lined tops which can almost be described as jackets which will provide a good level of warmth. We stock long sleeve Jerseys from manufacturers such as Assos, Briko, Campagnolo, dhb, Endura, Gore, Northwave and Pearl Izumi.
There are various thicknesses of jersey available within this category, we list them with three distinct thicknesses, these give an indication of the time of year they are best suited too. Lightweight are ideal for summer evenings to take the chill off, medium thickness jerseys are great for cooler days in the spring and autumn months whilst the thickest jerseys are suitable for spring, autumn or winter months. Long sleeve jerseys also benefit from other features, such as zip lengths for venting and a range of pockets to keep food, spares or even a water proof shell in, most will also feature reflective detailing for safety.

About the Sportful brand

The Sportful story began in 1946, when the Cremonese family opened a knitwear factory named Manifattura Valcismon. Over the years, production evolved toward the manufacture of high-quality underwear. The real turning point came in 1972, when Dr. Giordano Cremonese, who had taken over the management of the business from his parents, wanted to participate in the newly established Marcialonga cross-country ski race but did not have appropriate clothing. He decided to use the family business to produce the necessary apparel and what had begun as a personal need grew into an unprecedented success. This was the beginning of the Sportful brand.
In 1985, seeing the great demand for technical cycling apparel and encouraged by the company's remarkable success in cross-country skiing, Sportful embarked on a new adventure - Cycling. It wasn’t long before they were involved at the highest level, equipping teams such as Alfa Lum, Ariostea and Mapei, the latter dominating the classics throughout the 90s. Some of their greatest achievements came when the Italian national team used Sportful apparel, with World Championship victories for Bettini, Cipollini and Ballan.
The success continued with their Saxo Bank partnership, victories in all three grand tours, and multiple classics wins from the likes of Cancellara ,Contador and Sagan. Working with pro team athletes Sportful strives to make the best possible performance apparel for all conditions. Sportful is currently the official technical clothing partner Trek Segafredo and Drops Women's cycling team.

Good quality at a reasonable priceThis jacket is a really good fit. It has lasted well and is best from around 5-15 degrees - so has frequent use in the UK. It fits snuggly without being too tight and is easy to layer so you can wear it when colder.

Well priced quality jerseyGreat for cooler days & the zip means once it warms up you can regulate your temp easily & the 3 pockets on the rear mean theres room for a packaway jacket/energy bars, phone etc. Bonus points for the extra little zipped pocket that now keeps my house keys safe & sound. Fit is snug with good coverage of the lower back too. Good choice of colours & will buy another once stock is available. XS fitted perfectly bneing slight of frame with a 35"/88 cm chest size.

well made garment.What a great bit of kit. Superb price, even if bought out of sale period. The sizing is spot on and as described, close fitting. I'm a 39.5" chest and the large fits as it should. It's tight as it is meant to be. The feel and quality is superb as is performance.

Very fitted!!!Product just arrived, in fact I'm wearing it as I type. so far so good, however I had to write a review as I wanted to warn others...............it's a very close fit. having read the other reviews I opted for a large, was praying it wasn't going to be too large as I specifically wanted a close fitting winter jersey. Well it's very snug, i'm usually a medium, this large is a squeeze. a medium would have been impossible to get into!
All that said, very pleased with the purchase.

Colour of back of jersey?

Same all over (black in this case), with small yellow detailing near the base at the back.

What is meant by a 'lay-flat cuff'?

Asked by: CJC1976

The lay-flat cuff will be the same level of material around the cuff area as some brands are taller around the top area.

sizing

Hi. You advise to move up a size, but what does this mean? Move up from what? From your size guide? If so, why not adjust the size guide?
The guide says I'm a xl, so should I get a xxl?
Sorry if I seem to be asking a daft question and thanks for any help.

Asked by: Denzelfromdevon

This would work well for you in the XXL option.

Sizing

How does the sizing for Sportful compare to North American sizing? I am 6'0'' tall, 160 lbs., have 34 inch arms and normally wear a size m jersey. I've heard that Italian sizing tends to run a little smaller than what we're used to in Canada.

Asked by: TeamOrion

I would advise that they do come up a little on the smaller side and sizing up would be recommended in this garment.

What temperature range is this jersey designed for?

Asked by: Pez07

Unfortunately Sportful do not provide a temperature range for this jersey.
It would be suitable for chilly mornings or evening but not really for Winter riding.
